What to shoot
Being new to Pactical shooting, I brought my 92 Beretta. It seems to me that the hammerless pistols (with very modified triggers) have the advantage of all shots having the same great trigger. I have a D spring in my 92 but it still has significant trigger pull on the double action shot. I examined a Glock today . The trigger was as light as my Model 17 S&W revolver, which is under 2 lb s/A. I love the 9mm hammer guns but the odds seemed stacked when the first shot has to be DA. Am I wrong?

Are you wrong? Well the old "it depends" is about all I can say. No matter which you use it still comes down to sights and trigger. There are guys that run with all the other top shooters, beating them on the national stage, using 92's. Personally I think the biggest mistake newer shooters make is jumping from a gun they are familiar with and shoot comfortably to what others are shooting thinking that is the difference.
Custom Paras and all are really neat and all, but I repeat: shoot what you have. Show up with what you've got, ask what division it's legal for, and sign up for that division.
Custom whatever's are nice to have, but you have no need to think about such things when you first start. The rules are about the gun, but the game is about the shooter. That's you.
